Thanks to everyone who replied. I was not aware that the answer was dependent on the power system (TN-s vs. others) having been under the impression that the issue was about increasing leakage current throughout the life of the product.

From: Jim Eichner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 3:10 PM To: 'EMC-PSTC - forum' Subject: MOV's to ground Sorry - I know this has been flogged to death, but can someone please point me to something in writing that says you can't have MOV's to ground in a product destined for Germany? Or has that gone away? Any other countries with the same or similar rules? We are not in EN60950 - this is an EN50178 question, but really it's a general question. Thanks, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
